Wasted days.....................

Remember that song, I believe it was recorded by the late Freddy Fender...well, it pretty much raps up how I feel about my day at work today! I'm not going to bore you with the details, but will simply state that sometimes when you feel you are doing your best and that things couldn't be better, you better cover your head, cause your sky might just be ready to come crashing down!!! That about describes my day in a nutshell! End of story! Tomorrow is another day and just hope it's better than today was!
I'm really pooped tonight and to add to things, my granddaughter is bringing a friend and they plan on spending the night here! Somebody had better knock me out cause I think I will probably blow my cool before this evening is over!
I took the mutts for a carride earlier and they really loved that! Josie is tough-girl when she's in the car and barks at people and tries to be all intimidating! Kramer tries to sit in my lap and help me steer........thankfully, he didn't do that today!
It sure got cold today.........looks like I can kiss my Indian Summer goodbye! Maybe it will warm up around Christmas......I've seen it happen!
Speaking of Christmas.....the holiday is creeping up on us and way to fast! I got my Christmas Club check and hope I won't have it spent before I start to shop for presents! I know this sounds bad, but I just don't get into the holiday season, and I think the reason is that I see too much commercialism involved in the holiday..it's all about getting and not enough about giving and sharing the true meaning of Christmas...sadly, Christ has been taken out of Christmas and replaced by a bunch of hurry-scurry madness to get the shopping done and get everybody what they want and then when it's all over get to the store and take it all back to get what you really wanted! Sounds crazy, huh? I just want a Chrismas that's about the birth of a Savior and not about "what am I going to get so and so this year and what's so and so getting me?" I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't hate Christmas, I just don't like what it has become! Does anyone else out there feel that way?

I know how you feel.It would be great if people would put Christ back where he should be.Myself I love the hoildays.I know the really meaning and that others will to one day.All we can do is tell people the real meaning.Someday they will get it.
